• Any other Army lists must be pre-approved. Contact info@adepticon.org to get approval.
• Special Characters/Named Characters are NOT allowed.
• No Regiments of Renown are allowed in a Non-Dogs of War army.
• Rhinox Riders are only allowed in Ogre Kingdoms and Dogs of War armies.
• Each Combined Team needs to provide one objective marker. This should be modeled on a 40mm base.
• The rulings of the current GW 7th Edition Fantasy FAQ will be used. Other Tournament-Specific Rulings are available in
the AdeptiCon Fantasy FAQ.
• The Fantasy Team Tournament will use the ‘Sliding’ Methodology from The GW FAQ, Pg 6-8 with the following
clarification: Sliding distance is limited by remaining movement of the charger. If both players would prefer the ‘Clipping’
methodology, both must initial the ‘Using Clipping’ line on their opponent’s scoring sheet before starting the game.
• Model use and conversions. Whenever possible, your models should reflect WYSIWYG. If it is not apparent to anyone
walking by your table what the model represents in the Warhammer world, you are encouraged to label the movement
tray. Difficult or confusing model use may result in a penalty to Composition and Sportsmanship. If you have questions or
concerns, contact info@adepticon.org for a pre-judgment before March 1st.
• Your Models must be painted to the 3 color minimum standard. If you cannot meet this requirement, please contact
info@adepticon.org for resolution or an exception before March 25 th .
TEAMS
• Each Team will consist of two 1000 point contingents per its army book with the following restriction: Each
contingent shall have 1-2 Heroes.
• Brettonians do not get a free Paladin.
• Teams- As this is a Team Tournament, players are encouraged to use contingents from two different army
books/races.
• Each contingent is allowed one hero model to be upgraded to a battle standard bearer.
• No duplicates of magic items or Runic items are allowed between contingents except for dispel scrolls (Runes) and
power stones.

W A R H A M M E R F A N T A S Y T E A M T O U R N A M E N T
• Three games will be played. Scenarios will be used. They will not be pitched battles. (No Wood elf Extra woods)
• No new turns may begin after the 2-hour mark for the game.
• Each Contingent must provide an army list to their opponents with the stats of their army. Magic Items do not need
to be named, but a line should appear denoting the cost of items. Hidden models (Assassins, Fanatics, etc…) should
be listed separate of the unit they are contained in.
• Magic Generation: Each 1000 point side generates its own power and dispel dice to be used by its own mages. If a
side has no mages, it can only use the Common Pool. The Common Pool dice (2) must be divided at the beginning of
the magic phase, and cannot be switched mid-phase.
• Magic Effects: Beneficial spells may be cast on your friendly contingents. Special Racial effects or Race Spell Effects
(Cauldron of Blood, Screaming Bell, etc…) affect both friendly and enemy models that are applicable. The list of
‘Beneficial Spells’ is available in the FAQ. Tomb King magic does not affect Vampire Counts and Vice versa.
• Army Specific Rules: "Armies" that generate special effects only generate half of those effects, rounding up for each
1000 point portion of the alliance. Example:
• A team of Dwarves and Empire would only generate 3 basic dispel dice for the team, rather than 4 as a
"standard" dwarf army would.
• A Dwarf-Dwarf team would generate 4.
• Units or characters that create their own "ability" are not affected by this.
• Each contingent must have its own general and will gain regular bonuses and detriments from its own general and
battle standard bearer, and not the teammate's general or battle standard bearer. Examples:
• A unit of Skaven slaves could not use a Chaos Lord's leadership plus the unit's rank bonus for LD tests.
• An Undead army will only start to crumble with the removal of that contingent's specific general.
• Characters in each army cannot join units of the teammate's army.
• Fleeing/Destroyed Allied units may panic friendly units.
